De BET Awards staan om de hoek en Doja Cat domineert de nominaties. Dat ze één of meerdere a wards mee naar huis neemt is bijna zeker.
Woensdag maakte de organisatie de nominaties voor de awardshow bekend. De Planet H.E.R rapper maakt kans op maar liefst zes awards.
Doja is onder meer genomineerd voor een award in de categoriën ‘best female Hiphop artist’, ‘best female R&B/pop artist’, ‘album of the year’ en ‘video of the year’. Ze is de enige artiest die is genomineerd in zowel de ‘best R&B/pop’ en ‘best hiphop’ categorieën.
Drake volgt Doja Cat met vier nominaties. Onder meer Future, H.E.R, Jazmine Sullivan, Ye, Kendrick Lamar en Mary J. Blige maken ieder kans op drie awards.
De BET Awards worden dit jaar op 26 juni in het Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles uitgereikt. De show wordt live uitgezonden op tv.
